Hintertux Glacier is the place to head to for everyone who prefers spending days on the slopes over beach days on fleek, when summer is already in full swing. The ski resort offers an all-round view of the Alps from just under 3,250 m and about 60 km of slopes.

Stunning Skiing Experiences for Advanced Skiers

More than half of the 238 kilometres of runs (as of February 2017) are rated red (intermediate) in Ischgl. And that’s not the only reason why rating the ski area in the advanced skier category was so easy – Silvretta Arena is more than worth its rating of the full 10 points in this category.

Ischgl’s lift systems are top-drawer

Ischgl’s excellent rating in this category is not only down to its size, but also many other criteria important for advanced skiers: The most obvious plus point are the state-of-the-art lifts, ensuring skiers are transported quickly and comfortably up the hill.

The lifts largely consist of detachable 6-seater or 8-seater chairlifts (some of which are heated).

The 3S Pardatschgratbahn lift ensures that there are no queues at the base station, even at peak times.

The 8-seater chairlift at Flimjoch is one of the most modern chairlifts in the world. The features: Wind-resilient bubble, heated seats and a mountain station that ensures safe operation even in windy conditions. The exit area is enclosed. This allows the operator to open the wind-sheltered side, which can be determined depending on the wind direction.

Unique worldwide – in Ischgl twice over: The No. 9 support tower for the Höllbodenbahn chairlift is also the No. 3 support tower for Flimjoch chairlift. Thus two different 8-seater chairlift lines are using the same support tower in their day-to-day operations. The Idjochbahn also has two 8-seater chairlifts crossing on the same support tower.

Over 75% of all chair lifts are fitted with weather protection hoods, meaning that your ascent is always pleasant, no matter the weather.

The start-finish line is located at the Fimbabahn A3 cable car valley station in Ischgl or alternatively at the Twinliner L1 lift in Samnaun.

Tip: Check out the interactive map on our iSki Ischgl app to help you find your way around the ski area. If you prefer to have a printed copy of the map you can pick up a copy of our Smuggler’s Run brochure at the Fimbabahn A3 valley station or at the Twinliner L1 lift in Samnaun.

The Smuggler's Run Gold and Silver are for advanced skiers only. The Bronze run is on a slope with an easy level of difficulty (blue).
